This segfault doesn't look good. Is it mythbackend doing that? What
happens if you try to run mythbackend without using the init script?

As for forcing it, you can create a script in /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d that
just contains the line "exit 101". This will stop the init script from
running.

More details on policy-rc.d are here:
